CORE STATEMENT
The practice develops paintings of high material density, conceived to remain autonomous across institutional programs and lived architectural environments. The work does not depend on episodic exhibition formats or narrative framing. It operates through accumulation, restraint, and duration—establishing continuity over time rather than event-based visibility. The paintings are structured to circulate through different systems of care, display, and use while maintaining formal and material consistency.
HOW THE WORKS FUNCTION
The paintings regulate attention rather than demand it. Through density, repetition, and controlled pace, they establish conditions for sustained presence. In institutional contexts, the work supports prolonged critical engagement. In architectural settings, it modulates rhythm and perception without becoming decorative or instrumental. The aim is continuity: a work that remains legible over time, under changing conditions of viewing.

EVIDENCE & DOCUMENTATION
Continuity is evidenced through consistent documentation across contexts: stable captions, dates, locations, and installation views that record repetition over time. The same formal and material conditions are maintained regardless of site. Documentation is treated as operational infrastructure—supporting curatorial readability, procurement clarity, and long-term stewardship.
STRUCTURAL CONTEXT
Contemporary art still operates largely through episodic exhibition frameworks. While these formats support critical visibility, they often narrow how work can engage duration, repetition, and long-term presence. As institutional, cultural, and architectural systems increasingly intersect, circulation conditions are shifting. This context favors practices that can maintain rigor without relying on the white cube to complete meaning or function.
The work is developed through layered processes that privilege accumulation over gesture and duration over immediacy. Decisions are guided by restraint, repetition, and structural balance rather than expressive narration. Silence functions as a working condition inside the painting—shaping density, rhythm, and internal tension. The language is stable by design, allowing scale to expand selectively without shifting method.
